Probably the greatest superhero comic I’ve ever read hasn’t been read by anyone else. When I was a kid “The Adventures of Roly Poly” just couldn’t be beat. Whenever a comic would come out it would amaze me in its complexity and originality. At the time, no other superhero was immersed in a battle with a villain, only to then be in the middle of a tank battle on the next page, or even on to a new adventure without completeing his original adventure. Really amazing stuff. These classic comics were created by my little brother when he was 6 years old and we would draw together.

My little brother is not so little anymore, and I had thought he gave up drawing when we were kids. So it was really awesome to get an email from him this morning with this attached:

The original notebook with Roly Poly’s adventures is lost, but Erik and I will occasionally bring up those times when he would create little drawings of the man with the triangle head. I was so excited to see a new drawing I had to ink it:

Then I drew this picture, which is an updated version with a touch of the old Roly Poly I remember.

Maybe Erik and I will work together to bring you more Roly Poly, because he truely is awesome.
